Meyler wary of tough task facing Courceys

In each of the previous two seasons since their promotion to the senior hurling grade in Cork, Courcey Rovers have lost the first round before winning their second match.

So far this year, the same pattern has pertained with an opening round defeat by neighbours Ballymartle. A route to the last 16 awaits with a win tonight against Bishopstown, but coach John Meyler is fully aware of the size of the task at hand.

“The senior grade is extremely tough and you’re going to have hard games, we’ve experienced that over the last few years and it’ll be the same against Bishopstown,” he said.
